Attend this session to learn how SteelCentral helps you succeed.

Attend this session to learn how SteelCentral augments Microsoft monitoring tools to achieve this goal.

Cloud Application and Usage Monitoring​

Visibility in the Cloud is a huge challenge. Leaving the Cloud vendors to “tell” you how your traffic is flowing within this technology, is like leaving the fox to tend the hen house! Cloud vendors have a tiered pricing structure on how data is transferred within the cloud. Without the visibility on how your traffic is traversing the cloud, you will not be able to control or manage your costs let alone understand who’s talking to who and what applications do I have deployed within the cloud. SteelCentral provides this level of visibility for Cloud customers where you will understand exactly what traffic is Cloud based, which is On-Premise, and which is a combination of both.

Digital experience management (DEM) is paramount in changing the focus from technology to the user as businesses undergo digital transformation. This paradigm focuses on what network users are seeing on their devices in real time versus the traditional tactics of observing at some point in between the communicating nodes. Intelligent Wi-Fi can provide additional insights in addition to the end user experience metrics from the DEM platform. By combining the power of SteelCentral Aternity end user performance monitoring with network visibility from Xirrus Wi-Fi, IT organizations can measure the success of an enterprise application roll out such as migration to SaaS, Office 365. By providing application and client support teams with visibility into the network, end user experience management is enriched with holistic view.
